After the first batch of people ends the quarantine period, only those with links to the Nizamuddin Markaz gathering - more than 350 people - will be left to complete their stipulated quarantine period of 14 days.

"From today morning, these health workers have visited door to door and in every nook and corner of the state to assess the health condition of the people, who are in home quarantine. We will release all those from quarantine whose health has not deteriorated. I can say how many have been released tomorrow (Friday), but more than 75,000 are set to end their quarantine at midnight today and this is a positive news for us," state minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

He added that many of the active Covid-19 cases in isolation wards in hospitals are likely to be released on Saturday. "The condition of one patient from Hailakandi, who is admitted in Silchar Medical College turned critical and has been shifted to the ICU. But, many other active patients have recovered and I am hopeful that they too might be released from the hospitals tomorrow," Himanta said.

"These are the people who had returned from outside the state and have not shown any signs of sickness so far, which is good news. I thank them for following the quarantine rules," the minister said.

Those who complete the quarantine period may be released on Friday, but they will be under surveillance and will be asked to report immediately if they show any signs like fever, cough and breathing issues.

Himanta, accompanied by the minister of state and a large contingent of doctors, set up a health assessment camp at Srirampur in Kokrajhar district, where more than 400 people have been kept in quarantine and a majority of them have completed the mandatory 14 days.

"These people are pilgrims and others who entered the state after the lockdown. Our team of doctors are assessing the health conditions of many of those who completed 14 days in quarantine and if they are healthy and are not showing any symptoms such as fever, cough and breathing problems, we will send them to their homes. Those who are yet to complete the stipulated 14 days, will have to stay here," Himanta said.

He said the state government is planning a road map to bring back several others who are stranded in different states. "We will have to bring them back in a disciplined way and they will have to stay in quarantine once they return," the minister added.

When the blood reaches these curves, it makes changes to its fluid mechanics and interactions with the vessel wall. In a healthy person, these changes are in harmony with the tortuous microenvironment, but when diseased, these environments could lead to very complex flow conditions that activate proteins and cells that eventually lead to blood clots.
